Came with 24 British and Czech Republic soldiers prior to starting the notorious Cambrian Patrol. Needless to say, the guys got a much better rest prior to setting off here than the original plan of using a farmers’ field!
Many thanks

The pictures online totally belie the beauty and comfort of this wonderful house. High quality accommodation and hospitality. Gareth, Siân and children made sure our every request was satisfied. We will endeavour to return here for another ‘hideaway’.
Thank you, Gareth for your magnificent efforts to make my stay as comfortable as possible for me.
